My dad has recently converted his Renault Kangoo into a "motorhome" with an Amdro Boot Jump

 

Personally it's just too cramped to be usable, and he'd have been better off with a Romahome or something similar.

This stuff is not cheap, but it looks great and they use a roomster in promo's

I was at vw festival at the weekend and i bought a great little tent that can only be described as a car awning which adds lots of useful room for cooking in or sitting in if its raining. The issue of needing another little bit of room was the main issue for me not having pursued this sooner but i believe this has sorted my issues, pics to follow!

Go Outdoors are selling an air beam style tent that goes over the rear of a car.

Am thinking about one for trips away with my boys or for days / weekends at bike races. Somewhere to change, service bikes,eat, etc.

Not cheap at £400 IIRC

The reason behind this idea is as a changing room etc for surfing or mountainbiking and also somewhere to eat if its windy. The woman who thought it up is a surfer and was sick of getting out of her wetsuit 1 in view of everyone/freezing cold in the wind so may be ideal for that sort of thing

Dont know about servicing a bike in there though maybe a bit small

Air beam is the future, I actually love our awning.

Looks awesome airhead is cool!! The one I have bought isn't as big but may be even faster to put up

Is that the Go Outdoors one?

Ordered from Amazon, cost just over £300 and worth every penny.

pictures tonight of what I have got as my awning has arrived!!

Can't think where you got this idea from..

I had the idea before just not enough room but this has sorted my issues out

Nice, just the job. Any chance of a photo looking inside towards the tailgate.

Looks quick and simple to set up.

 

How is it attached to the car?

 

Guess it is thrown over the top o the hatch and suckers / hooks attached to the windows?

 

Is there some weight in the light blue strip along the bottom? Or pegs?

All suckers ?pegs and elastic for round the wheels

there straps that go around the wheels first of all then suckers for the windows and then the roof then you just put two poles in to hold the extra that overhangs the tailgate. and then you let the tailgate rise and its all held up. we attempted it for the first time lastnight and took about 3-4 mins start to finish

also be a very practical addition to a yeti. excellent if you like walking etc and get rained on good little mobile changing room. we tend on leaving it in the car all the time as it folds down very small

That pic outside your house, could be undertakers collecting a body from a crime scene......only joking!

Yes I spotted these hatchback awnings/tents at the VW Fest up at Harewood, though haven't felt the need for one.

But a useful extra for a young family, or surfers, triathletes, etc etc.

Looking forward to seeing pictures....
